To the Moon

Some nights I like to gaze
at the moon
  I love all the phases
                          oh yes all are beautiful
but
     the crescent moon is the best
I wish that I could
                           f
                             l
                               o
                                 a
                                   t           up
               and sit on the edge
      dangling my feet
way up there
   above the earth
                 falling asleep in the moon's curve
it would be magical
                          and then when the stars blinked
goodbye
           I would
                       f
                         a
                            l
                              l        fall into my bed
and in the morning
                     I would be curled up 
    spooning my pillow . . .
